President Cyril Ramaphosa has unveiled his plan on how to deal with the country's energy crisis.President Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday unveiled government's plan to “fix Eskom and improve its existing fleet of power stations”.
Ramaphosa listed a number of solutions, including Eskom increasing its budget for maintenance and new green energy projects. “We are cutting red tape that has made it difficult for Eskom to buy [the necessary equipment] for repairs,” said Ramaphosa, adding that this was one of the challenges he was told about during consultations with stakeholders.
Eskom would construct its first solar and battery storage projects at Komati, Majuba, Lethabo and several other power stations.Eskom is also embarking on a drive to recruit skilled personnel, some of whom are former employees who left the parastatal for overseas companies. To support the grid, Eskom will acquire surplus energy from independent power producers and private entities. These are some of the solutions to be implemented after three weeks of rolling blackouts, which Ramaphosa said had inconvenienced millions and caused immense damage to the economy.Ramaphosa said Eskom had experienced years of fraud and now even sabotage, but he was confident Eskom could be turned around.
It's the DA's plan. The anc cannot think up a plan to get out of the bath, without help.
